WARNING
Standing or walking under elevated equipment could result
in death or serious injury. When elevating or lifting the light
tower trailer, always keep clear of the area around and
under the light tower trailer, and do not allow others in the
area.
General Lifting Guidelines
• Before lifting, lower the light tower and shut down the
engine. See Pre-Transport Check List.
• Always be sure the lifting device you are using is in good
condition and is rated for the maximum capacity of the
task to safely lift the light tower trailer.
• Always acquire assistance when using a forklift, crane or
hoist and when unloading.
• Only use the lifting eye to lift or hoist the unit with a hoist
or crane.
• Only use shackles or a locking-type hook when lifting.
• Do not stand or walk under the unit when lifted. Keep
others away.
Lifting Eye
The light tower trailer is equipped with one lifting eye, located
at the top center of the unit (A, Figure 9). Use only this lifting
eye when attempting to lift the light tower trailer.
Use a lifting device with a lift rating that exceeds the Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of the light tower trailer. See
Light Tower Trailer Weight.
The lifting eye is rated for 2300 pounds (1045 kg), and is
intended to carry the weight of the light tower trailer only, with
no additional weight.
The light tower trailer is not intended to be suspended for
long periods of time.
Figure 9
Lifting The Light Tower Trailer With A Forklift
The light tower trailer s equipped with forklift loops (B, Figure
10) at the rear of the trailer. These are used to when lifting
with a forklift from the rear as well as the side. When lifting
from the rear, use only the forklift loops. When lifting from
the side be sure the forks engage the loops and rest on the
blocks in front of and behind the tires.
Use a forklift with a rated lifting capacity greater than the
weight of the light tower trailer. See Light Tower Trailer
Weight.
